actually i had never heard that saying until just now.. samnsara Apr 2019 #1

I think you'll hear it pretty soon...I wouldn't be surprised... CTyankee Apr 2019 #3

Why are YOU associating what someone else said with Biden? What is your purpose? Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #23

My question also. cwydro Apr 2019 #37

Fair question... if Joe said it, show where he said it, otherwise, completely unfair to bring it up. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #55

Biden did NOT say this. David Brock said it in a 1993 book 2 years later. nt ucrdem Apr 2019 #72

Did he say it himself, or attribute it to Biden? InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #107

Brock wrote it in 1993 book called "The Real Anita Hill" defending Clarence Thomas. ucrdem Apr 2019 #112

And I referenced the book's origins in a RW rag in my OP. Go back and read what I wrote. CTyankee Apr 2019 #222

Actually, what he said was "I am sorry if she felt she didn't get a fair hearing." Demit Apr 2019 #36

Here is an actual quote from Biden BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #49

Said Biden: "The message I've delivered before is I am so sorry if she believes that." Demit Apr 2019 #64

You post that he regrets he couldn't give her the hearing she deserved. Autumn Apr 2019 #143

The short answer is yes. BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #167

I take it you're not here for the conversation. Autumn Apr 2019 #168

Basically, they're all only going to go lalalalala can't hear you. Demit Apr 2019 #170

OK,I've done a lot of explaining here but folks aren't listening or not liking what they hear. CTyankee Apr 2019 #119

That statement was NEVER attributed to Joe Biden. Do you have a link? lapucelle Apr 2019 #129

I think the OP is a she. (Not that it matters) cwydro Apr 2019 #160

No, we wouldn't. But that doesn't matter to Trump and his party. They lie about us all the time. CTyankee Apr 2019 #70

There are endless lies they could create to attack any of our candidates... hlthe2b Apr 2019 #73

Nobody attributed that statement to Biden. lapucelle Apr 2019 #118

OK,you didn't. At the time, I did, which is why Brock made his statement in the first place. CTyankee Apr 2019 #125

Nobody thought Joe Biden said it, and your "link" doesn't connect the quote with Joe Biden. lapucelle Apr 2019 #134

Exactly! The American Spectator (Brock) made that statement! CTyankee Apr 2019 #171
